Ein Löwe im Savuti Game Reserve (Chobe-Nationalpark, Botswana).
A Lion in the Savuti Game Reserve (Chobe National Park, Botswana).
We were watching 2 lionesses and this young male for 45 minutes on their attempt to hunt wildebeests in Hwange NP, Zimbabwe.
The wildebeests slowly came closer, with the lions hiding nicely behind 2 termite mounts.
One wildebeest was close to the male and one female, the second lioness was ready to go, waiting for her mates to initialize the hunt. Somehow the male was not focussed enough and blocking the sight for the second female.
In the last second the wildebeest realized the danger and, for her, could happily escape.
The male trotted away yawning, as if he was feeling ashamed, knowing he blew the hunt.

There are several challenges to photographing rhinoceros in the wild. A softer touch sometimes helps me through this challenge.

This old leopard was called Vin Diesel. He caught an old warthog called Brood that morning, 27 July 2017.
Like it a lot, in my opinion it's one of my best animal shots.
... oh and there's a little bird sitting on his back too :)
Practising with the new camera thanks to Rod 😁 Managed to eliminate the bars of the cage we were in almost completely.
It is early morning in Ngorongoro Crater and a pride of lions who have made cape buffalo their specialty have attacked an injured bull. The buffalo are dangerous opponents that can critically injure or kill a lion. A young male has joined in the hunt. He pounces on the bull but is thrown off. As the bull spins around the lion is in danger of being severely injured. The tides can turn in an instant in the wild. Hunter can become the hunted and predator, the prey. #BigCats #Bringit #Canon
It can happen when we get too close and intrude on these predators' space...
This time I had a shorter lens ready!

A young lion from the Rongai Pride has a moment of pure bliss, rolling on its back and playfully chewing a stick while two smaller cubs join the fun in the grassy plains of the Maasai Mara, Kenya.
This is one of the best "Big Five" – Rhino, Buffalo, Elephant, Lion, Leopard, banner painting seen by me. I could not resist from taking a close up picture of the same. Awesome idea and printing work done by the designer of this banner. Well done.
Not all lions get the privilege to mate and produce progeny. Mainly the strongest alpha males will mate with receptive females. A male and female lion will mate over several days, forgoing other life's necessities, like eating. They can mate many dozens of times each day. Ultimately, they exhaust themselves. Having the most successful individuals participating in procreation helps to assure a strong genetic pool. The intense mating ritual helps to assure that they are successful. Only we can upset the natural balance by indiscriminately removing the biggest and the best to satiate our bloodlust. Our lion populations are waning. Like so many animals before them, human greed is taking its toll. The concept that "taking just one more" won't make a difference, is killing off a species. We need to put an end to poaching so that the mamas and the papas can get on with their business of having cubs. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Tanzania #Nature in #Africa #Lions #DrDADBooks #Canon #WildlifeConservation.
